Sara and Bryce are in Africa

Hey guys!

Sara and Bryce have come to Africa. They got here last Friday morning at 7:00 after traveling over 26 hours to get here. We've had a few fun nights with them, but now they are out climbing Mt Kilimanjaro!! They get back here on Wednesday. I can't wait to hear how the climb has been!! So here are a few pics of things we've done with them so far.

Lake Becking

Not too long ago it rained and hailed. All exit holes out of our yard got blocked and this was the result!! It was a close call...

Parties

Okay, here are some pictures and updates that are long overdue.

This is when we went to a Latin Dancing Night. It was a fundraiser for a group that rescue animals.

At the end of the night, there was a competition for the best "butt wiggle" in the cha-cha. Mark won :-) and got a sombrero!

One of our friends had a 21st birthday party. The theme was that you dressed up as an occupation that corresponded with one of your initials. Mark G Becking dressed up as the Grim Reaper and Julia T Becking dressed up as a Tennis Pro.

Fun Day

One of Northcliff's fundraisers is "Fun Day". It's kind of like field day except on a HUGE level. They start off on the friday with the classes having a "dissing competition" against the other classes of their grade, then finished the day with a soccer tournament. On Saturday the classes compete with each other in volleyball, tug-of-war, wet-n-wild, and an obstacle course.

These are some of my girls that I teach.

This was 9G - their theme was "Gangsters and Girls". The boys dressed up as girls and the girls dressed up as guys.

When the competitions began, we split up into different grades. I was in charge of 9E, so I went with the 9th graders.

My classroom

Well, here are some long promised pictures of my classroom. It's a pretty typical high school class. One thing that is really nice is all the windows. It's nice to have so much natural light.

Working in the yard

Yesterday we spent the day in the yard. Here is a picture pre-yard work.

This is a picture of the same area after we were finished. We planted gerber daisies, a tree fern, and some flowers that I have no clue of their names.
